Hi Jim, I took this photo near Tai Tam, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. I'm not sure why Hong Kong is tagged as Paracel Islands though. I just drag and place the marker on map for the location. Hope that answer your questions. :)

I am a Biology professor mapping the geographic distribution of the weaver ants. Yours is the only record I have from the Paracel Islands. Could you please tell me the geographic location (e.g., town name or geo-coordinates) where you photographed this ant so I may include it in my database? Thank you.

Where in the Paracel Islands did you photograph this?
